Women from all over South Africa are sharing images of themselves wearing headgear using a trending hashtag, #RespekTheDoek in showing support for an eNCA reporter.

The scandal now referred to as the ‘Doek Gate’, has infuriated many South African women who believe that there is still a great deal of cultural intolerance in the work place.
